Diabetes Could Lead To Blindness



The American Diabetes Association released new research today, conducted by Harris Interactive®, which examines the level of awareness and understanding of eye health for people who are living with diabetes. The research found that while 96 percent of those surveyed were aware that diabetes could lead to blindness, 20 percent of those have not had an eye exam in the past 12 months -- demonstrating that awareness does not always drive action when it comes to eye health.

"Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults," said John E. Anderson, MD, President, Medicine & Science, American Diabetes Association. "For the nearly 20 million people who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S., it is critical that they receive an annual eye exam to avoid complications and lower their risk of glaucoma, cataracts and other eye problems such as diabetic macular edema. May is Healthy Vision Month and this research demonstrates the need for us to continue to educate people with diabetes about the importance of eye health, and receiving an annual eye exam."
